As a great many of the people who read this journal already know, my friend -- in both the LiveJournal and the traditional sense of the word -- Julia passed away yesterday at the far too young age of 35. I first met her in the TWoP Buffy forums, and in 2003 I had the distinct pleasure of meeting her face to face in Las Vegas. A year later, I saw her again in San Diego. She was a warm, wonderful, intelligent person with a great sense of humor and positive outlook that kept her going long after her doctors initially predicted she would survive. I'll miss her.
